Mondrian nails

Ok so this was supposed to be my 'black and white' mani for British nail bloggers last week! Clearly that didn't happen....I did do it on Sunday so technically had time but then the idea of posting was effort haha. Oh well it's not really that Black and White anyway lol.

So, moving on. I've been wanting to do something like this for ages. I have a soft spot for Mondrian's work and it seemed like something that would translate well to nails. Of course I'm not the first person to think that by any means as quick search for 'Mondrian nails' on Google or pinterest will show you!

I'm quite happy with how they turned out really though. I was concerned cos I'm really not artistic in the slightest....even though it's only straight lines and blocks of colour I was worried about getting the balance totally wrong. That and trying to colour in with shaky hands :p. So yea, pleased with myself for stepping out of my comfort zone... even if it's very simple by most people's standards!

So anyway, enough blabbering here are some pics. And I promise, promise, promise to be on time with my neon nails this week! Do check out the talented folk over at British nail bloggers by clicking on the tab at the top of the page (I think?). X

About Me

Hey im Katie. i work as a carer, looking after people in their own homes and i love it a lot. The rest of the time, i ring bells, help at a guide group, study science with the OU, play with beads,paint my nails, ring more bells, occasionally play darts but more often drink and cheer, blog and generally stay as wildly busy as possible. The wildly busy is a protection from the head-crap that comes with depression and other such fun things....something that im passionate about raising awareness and fighting stigma for.

What's in the lost and found

A bizarre and unordered collection of mush from my brain. The lost and found of Katie's (not always fully functioning mind). If you know what to expect you're a step ahead of me but i expect it'll include: nails (my current obsession and distraction), depression anxiety and mental health awareness, bellringing, links to people more erudite than me, the wonderful world of care for the elderly, girl guiding, self-harm, self-help (and probably some self-mockery also), rants, moans, celebrations........and pretty much anything else i feel the need to share.
